Question 33

Isn't ADHD just about naughty boys running around a classroom who can't concentrate?

Accepted Answer

ADHD affects multiple domains of an individual’s life, including relationships, career, self-esteem, and mental health
Beyond academics, ADHD can affect every element of a person’s functioning, including time management, organisation, social interactions, and emotional regulation.
Recognising that ADHD is not just about hyperactive behaviour or inattention is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and support. By understanding the diverse ways in which ADHD can manifest, including rejection sensitivity and addictive behaviours, society can better support individuals with ADHD to lead fulfilling lives.
Rejection sensitivity is characterised by extreme emotional sensitivity and emotional pain associated with the perception of being rejected or criticised. This is common among individuals with ADHD and can significantly impact their self-esteem and interpersonal relationship. 
ADHD often co-exists with other conditions such as anxiety, depression, learning disorders, and more, making the diagnosis and management complex.

Question 35

Will the NHS accept this diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

We have a very high success rate in achieving shared care agreements with primary care.In some circumstances, it is pertinent for us to understand why the GP is reluctant to take on shared care. If they have no previous experience of working with an established provider like Sanctum, they may have concerns about quality of care or our approach. We are happy to provide any reassurance in this domain. It is important that media reports about private providers had painted a negative portrayal of the services available and this may be impacting the GP’s consideration towards agreeing SCA. Not all providers are the same and all sectors of healthcare have good and poorly performing providers. Any concerns or queries we can address on request. The GP may not have a good knowledge or experience of how debilitating ADHD is and how treatment is fundamental to good quality of life. We are happy to provide education to any primary care provider to address knowledge gaps, at no cost.
